Always
Joan Armatrading · Other Songs - Joan Armatrading
You have to add always
And if I cry, you wipe the tears away
You say you'll be here, darling always
But always is a long long time
And time can change so much
I want to stay with you always
Oh, the gifts that you bring
Darling, you have given me
The joy of living in every way
After all this time
Things haven't changed so much
I want to stay with you always
You still say, I love you always
Always
